hungry? - This must be the head hunger I hear people talking about.  I have a sense that I need to eat, though I can say I'm not 'starving'.  I am getting tired of the full liquids, with 6 d...

Post Op Day 2 - Surgery went well on 1/11/11.  Had to take my gall bladder - full of stones and fix an umbilical hernia (which I had fixed a year ago).  Post Op nite was miserable - too much anest...

Anxiety - It is now two weeks until surgery and I find myself subtley sabotaging my routine.  I bought cookies for Christmas tea, and ate a whole box.  To be fair, I did record them - all 72...
